Wiring Google Nest Doorbell to Honeywell Chime

Wiring a Google Nest Doorbell Battery to a Honeywell Home Series 9 Wired Doorbell Chime

In this article, we will guide you through the process of wiring a Google Nest doorbell battery to a Honeywell Home Series 9 wired doorbell chime. This tutorial is designed for users who want to integrate their smart doorbell with their existing wired doorbell system.

Materials Needed

• Google Nest doorbell battery
• Honeywell Home Series 9 wired doorbell chime
• Doorbell transformer (16V 15VA or 24V 30VA)
• Wiring panel for the Honeywell doorbell chime

Step 1: Prepare the Wiring Panel

Begin by removing the wiring panel at the back of the Honeywell doorbell chime. This will give you access to the internal wiring. Be careful not to damage any of the components or wires.

Step 2: Identify the Terminals

The Honeywell doorbell chime has multiple terminals, but we are only interested in a few specific ones. The two main terminals we will be using are AC1 and AC2, which connect to the transformer. Additionally, if you have a single doorbell, you can use either slot A1 or B1. However, one of these slots may not work properly, so it's essential to test both.

Step 3: Connect the Transformer

Connect one side of the transformer (16V 15VA or 24V 30VA) to the AC1 terminal. This is typically the white wire on the left side of the transformer. The other side of the transformer has two red wires; connect one of these to the AC2 terminal.

Step 4: Connect the Doorbell Camera

The second red wire on the transformer goes to one of the leads on the doorbell camera. It doesn't matter which side it connects to. The second white wire on the doorbell goes to the B1 terminal (or A1, if that's what you're using).

Step 5: Test the Connection

Once all the connections are made, test the doorbell by pressing the button. The chime should activate and play the selected tone twice. You can also change the tone to test that it's working correctly.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're experiencing issues with slow or incomplete charging of your video doorbell, consider upgrading your transformer to 24V 30VA. This should improve the performance and efficiency of your doorbell system.

Conclusion

Wiring a Google Nest doorbell battery to a Honeywell Home Series 9 wired doorbell chime is a relatively straightforward process. By following these steps, you should be able to integrate your smart doorbell with your existing wired doorbell system.
